Hi,

This was written for Win2000, but the problem and solutions are the same:

How to Troubleshoot a "STOP 0x0000004E PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" Error Message
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291806

One of the possibilities is bad or failing ram. If you want to check the
memory, there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.

Sounds like an Irq conflict between your BIOS and Windows. You need to set your BIOS to default settings and hope for the best and if it continues try getting Windows set to plug and play compatibility so it will respond to what your BIOS wants to do with your memory and Irq port addressing. Dunno, it's all rocket science to me.
